Biden administration plans to reclassify marijuana, easing restrictions nationwide

[Anonymous]

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration will take a historic step toward easing federal restrictions on cannabis, with plans to announce an interim rule soon reclassifying the drug for the first time since the Controlled Substances Act was enacted more than 50 years ago, four sources with knowledge of the decision tell NBC News.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is expected to approve an opinion by the Department of Health and Human Services that marijuana should be reclassified from the most strict Schedule I to the less stringent Schedule III, marking the first time that the U.S. government would acknowledge its potential medical benefits and begin studying them in earnest.

Looks like more pot smoke everywhere! Wonder what will happen to all those people convicted of cannabis related charges. Seems a little unfair at this point.

Great news. Use will actually go down because it won't be so "forbidden" and certainly decriminalizing what has already become a legal trade is good news for our overcrowded prisons.

Excellent!! It’s about time. Too many people have had their lives ruined by overzealous prosecution over the years.

Agree with this. Alcohol causes more issues than pot.

I mean, isn't that what a politician should be doing? Doing things that most voters want?

Fun fact: youth does not constitute most voters.

You’re talking to someone who loves the tyranny of the minority.

Fully half of the states have voted to legalize recreational marijuana.

Fun fact: 70% of U.S. adults support marijuana legalization, moron: https://news.gallup.com/poll/514007/grassroots-support-legalizing-marijuana-hits-record.aspx

A majority of self-identified conservatives even favor of it. Maybe do some basic research on the court of public opinion before spewing off ignorance next time.

If taxes covered things like universal healthcare, that would be even more popular.

I remember when we had a Congress that passed laws. Now we have an executive branch that decides important policies based on election year polling.

Also, weed is for losers. Don’t touch that crap if you ever want to accomplish anything.
